The fourth edition of the Annual Epidemiological Report on Communicable Diseases in Europe provides a comprehensive summary of surveillance data for 2008.
This surveillance report was prepared by EUVAC.net, which is a European surveillance network for vaccine-preventable diseases. The network collects data on surveillance systems and selected epidemiological characteristics of vaccine preventable diseases in the EU and other participating countries. It is jointly funded by ECDC and the Statens Serum Institut (Denmark).
The meeting reviewed recent data collections for STI, including the 1990–2009 data, and discussed the data presentation, differences across the EU/EEA and trends.
This report provides findings from a review of progress made towards the Dublin Declaration on Partnership to Fight HIV/AIDS in Europe and central Asia implementation. It is based on data from 49 countries and reflects the contributions of a wide range of individuals and organisations.
Ebola viruses and Marburg virus are classified as biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) pathogens and require special containment and barrier protection measures, in particular for people taking care of infected patients or bodies.
2014 was the first year that Ebola viral haemorrhagic fever infections were notified in TESSy, prompted by an outbreak in West Africa. Several, mostly travel-related, cases were reported in Europe since. Latest data from the Annual epidemiological report
